A Mississippi native from Columbus, Lauren comes to us from the Mississippi Coding Academy, where she was a Full Stack Web Development Instructor. Prior to that, she was a Program Specialist for the Mississippi Emergency Management Association, where she worked in System Administration and helped in program training.

When she's not at work, Lauren enjoys hiking and camping, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and quality time with her cats, Artemis and Apollo. She once interned at Walt Disney World but refuses to spill any Magic Kingdom secrets - so far.
